Design and Synthesis of Dual Fluorophore for Detection of Fe3+ and Hg2+ in Aqueous Solution Through Fluorescence "Turn-Off".
Here, we report the design and synthesis of a new bicyclic compound 6, annulated with benzene and the 8-hydroxyquinoline fluorophore. The probe exhibits a moderate aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior upon the addition of water up to 17%. Furthermore, the probe exhibits a highly selective fluorescence turn-off r...
